68 Charger from Texas

[J-440]

Evening all. Just thought I'd join and share/get advice for our rides. Been wanting a Charger since the DOH. Was looking for a 69 but found a sweet 68 in 1998 that I couldn't pass up. I was 28 and had no idea what I was getting into. I figured I'd have this thing torn down and restored within 2 years....yeah right! Then later into my build I discovered Pro-Touring and it's been a 17 year love affair and triple the budget but she's finally street ready.
It was an all original 440/727 with dark green paint and interior. Nothing special so I decided to improve on everything since these cars were not that great bone stock. Anyway, I hope the purists don't hate too much since this wasn't a HEMI car or 1 of 1. Hope to be swapping stories with ya'll soon. Have a good one.

Bad ***. Welcome. 68s are hands down my favorite. Ya hemis are great, But id take a slant 6 that someone saved and made their own any day. that hood is cool as hell.. old scool cowl with a z28 style louver. Cant say ive seen that before. Awesome. How bout some pics of its journey to get where it is now?

Unfortunately all the old pics are in a photo album. This was all pre iPhone. The motor and tranny were stout but everything else needed work.

Welcome to FBBO from SoCal. Your Charger is sweet. The purists have their place - but so do the pro-touring. Mine is a resto mod. Built it like I liked it. As did you - cool.

Preciate the compliments. The hood is a 3" cowl with '14 Mustang hood vents. Good aero and really gets the heat out.
